Imprimitive groups highly transitive on blocks
We classify imprimitive groups acting highly transitively on blocks and satisfying conditions common in geometry. They can be realized as suitable subgroups of twisted wreath products.
Algebraic (2, 2)-transformation groups
This paper contains the more significant part of the article with the same title that will appear in the Volume 12 of Journal of Group Theory (2009). In this paper we determine all algebraic transformation groups $G$, defined over an algebraically closed field $\sf k$, which operate transitively, but not primitively, on a variety $\Omega$, provided the following conditions are fulfilled. We ask that the (non-effective) action of $G$ on the variety of blocks is sharply 2-transitive, as well as the action on a block $\Delta$ of the normalizer $G_\Delta$. Also we require sharp transitivity on pairs $(X,Y)$ of independent points of $\Omega$, i.e. points contained in different blocks.
Solvable Extensions of Nilpotent Complex Lie Algebras of Type {2n,1,1}
We investigate derivations of nilpotent complex Lie algebras of type {2n, 1, 1} with the aim to classify nilpotent complex Lie algebras the commutator ideals of which have codimension one and are nilpotent Lie algebras of type {2n, 1, 1}
Unitary Groups Acting on Grassmannians Associated with a Quadratic Extension of Fields
Let (V, H) be an anisotropic Hermitian space of finite dimension over the algebraic closure of a real closed field K. We determine the orbits of the group of isometries of (V, H) in the set of K-subspaces of V . Throughout the paper K denotes a real closed field and K its algebraic closure. Then it is well known (see, for example, [4, Chapter 2], [23]; see also [8]) that K = K(i) with i = √−1. Also we let (V,H) be an anisotropic Hermitian space (with respect to the involution underlying the quadratic field extension K/K) of finite dimension n over K. In this context we consider the natural action of the unitary group U = U(V,H) of isometries of (V,H) on the set Xd of all ddimensional K-subs…
The Action of the Symplectic Group Associated with a Quadratic Extension of Fields
Abstract Given a quadratic extension L/K of fields and a regular alternating space (V, f) of finite dimension over L, we classify K-subspaces of V which do not split into the orthogonal sum of two proper K-subspaces. This allows one to determine the orbits of the group SpL(V, f) in the set of K-subspaces of V.

On some Translation Planes Admitting a Frobenius Group of Collineations
Publisher Summary This chapter presents some results concerning translation planes of dimension 2 over GF(q), where q = p r . π denotes such a plane. It is assumed that π has a collineation group F of order q 2 (q-1) satisfying the condition: there exists a point V e l ∞ such that F fixes V and acts (faithfully) as a Frobenius group on l ∞ – {V}.
Nilpotent Lie algebras with 2-dimensional commutator ideals
Abstract We classify all (finitely dimensional) nilpotent Lie k -algebras h with 2-dimensional commutator ideals h ′ , extending a known result to the case where h ′ is non-central and k is an arbitrary field. It turns out that, while the structure of h depends on the field k if h ′ is central, it is independent of k if h ′ is non-central and is uniquely determined by the dimension of h . In the case where k is algebraically or real closed, we also list all nilpotent Lie k -algebras h with 2-dimensional central commutator ideals h ′ and dim k h ⩽ 11 .
A class of imprimitive groups
We classify imprimitive groups inducing the alternating group A4 on the set of blocks, with the inertia subgroup satisfying some very natural geometrical conditions which force the group to operate linearly.
